Selwyn libraries popular
Selwyn libraries now receive more than twice the number of visits they did five years ago.
Selwyn District has four libraries located at Rolleston, Darfield, Leeston and Lincoln which
received a total of 340,000 visits in the year to June 2013, or an average of 8 visits per
Selwyn resident. In the year to June 2008, they received around 150,000 visits.
57% of Selwyn residents are active members of a local library. The number of books
being borrowed has also been increasing and is now up 26% on figures from 2008, with
the increase in library borrowings outstripping population growth in the district. 370,000
books and other items were borrowed from libraries in the year to June 2013.
Selwyn Libraries Manager Glen Walker says that it is fantastic that library services are so
popular and well used by people living in Selwyn. "Our library staff work hard to ensure
that visitors to our libraries have a great experience and our library services have been
consistently rated as one of the most popular Council services by residents."
He says that libraries have focused on offering a wider variety of programmes over the past
couple of years including holiday programmes for kids, book clubs, expanding toddler time
sessions and offering new baby time sessions. "These free programmes encourage children
to develop a love of books and learning from a young age and have been very popular."
Glen says that offering free high speed public access internet and Wi-Fi has also helped
to attract more people to visit a library. "Many people visit a library to access the internet
but at the same time our book issues have been increasing noticeably which indicates
that people also like to use the library service and take some books home with them."
As par t of the Council's strategy to enhance library services, a new library is being
constructed in Lincoln which will open in early 2014. Library facilities in Leeston and
Darfield have already been improved with these libraries expanding in former Council office
sites. Improved library facilities in Rolleston are also being considered by the Council as
par t of the development of Rolleston town centre.
